Yes. In the guise of common effluent treatment plants and treated effluent recycling systems. public are being misled by the polluting industries and Federal Govts., Simply the pollutants are being converted from one from to another form , the same could not be completely eliminated. Once the mistake of over exploiting natural resources for industrial and domestic greed and materliasm , the resultant pollutants are irreversible and we need to face the consequences in one form or other.

The vast majority of chemicals and pollutants in wastewater can be either removed from the waste stream or converted into innocuous forms. Is not taking water from the environment and then discharging it in a polluted form a far greater waste of resources than recycling?

Not true. Technology has progressed significantly. Read the recent WHO water reuse guidance cites in my response to lyseconcept above.
